Summary

County GIS staff described how geographic information systems support stormwater, tax parcel management, emergency response and utilities, and invited residents to a Nov. 19 GIS Day open event at the American Tobacco Campus.

Durham County staff marked GIS Day and invited the public to an open event on Nov. 19 at the American Tobacco Campus. Meredith Stahl (S10), a GIS analyst in the county’s stormwater and erosion control division, described county uses of GIS for impervious surface calculations for stormwater fees, parcel maintenance, digitized engineering plans, and a mobile app used after Tropical Storm Chantal for storm‑damage assessment.

Stahl encouraged residents to attend the Nov. 19 event to see how GIS technology is used across county departments; commissioners thanked staff for the work and noted GIS can be a useful public tool to view flood zones and other local layers.
